Streich Two Acro-Bait

 The February lure of the month was the fairly obscure Streich's Flex-O-Mino. Streich made at least two other baits. Two years and two months after receiving his patent for the Flex-O-Mino, Streich received  a patent on his Acro-Bait. An invention composed of two joined pieces or sections, each of which effects the direction of movement of the other,whereby the device takes an irregular path when drawn through the water and darts or lunges in almost all directions,in a succession of swift movements, thereby making an attractive lure for fish. The Acro-Bait shows Paul Streich's creativity. This is an interesting concept, considering that the majority of metal baits consist either of a spinner which revolves on a shaft or a spoon that wobbles upon trolling or retrieve.
